Advertising copy

Although the topic is uber-sexy, and the subject is being marketed to super-yacht-owning billionaires and described as an aquatic Ferrari, let's have a look at the language and lack of citations in this piece. It really does read like an advertisement for the company. West Coast Gordo (talk) 04:57, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ack, this is a frickin' advertisement! Just take the sentence fragment "Super Falcon benefits from our forty years of experience in building over sixty deep submersibles", that's copied straight from an ad! 84.57.191.144 (talk) 12:02, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted much of the offending info. Maybe now we can remove the tag.Jasper Deng (talk) 00:01, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Image

I am pretty certain that the image that currently goes with this article is not of the DeepFlight Super Falcon. It is one of HOT's earlier submersibles, the Aviator. Unless anyone has information or an opinion to the contrary, I'm going to remove the photo from this article it in a day or two. (The same photo is also used with a caption stating it is the Super Falcon on the Submersible article page, which I plan on changing the caption for).
